CEM Highlights – FBC Peachtree City https://fbcptctwo.org Welcome Home Tue, 19 Oct 2021 13:25:43 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 C.E.M. Highlights https://fbcptctwo.org/8372-2/ Mon, 01 Jun 2020 15:46:52 +0000 http://www.fbcptc.org/?p=8372 We had just started to become familiar with the books of the Bible in Children’s Worship before the implementation of the shelter-at-home directive. Now, with social distancing still in place, I believe we should continue learning important information pertaining to each book. Also, be sure to practice reciting the books of the Bible in the right order.

 

I would like to have parents continue this with their children while we are still at home over the next several weeks. Our goal is to become familiar with one book per week. Please help your child to learn the books of the Bible (we’re doing them in order) and the brief description of each book that will be supplied in the eNews each week. (Hint, hint, hint! Don’t be surprised if your Sunday morning teacher calls you to ask a couple of questions about the book of the Bible listed in our weekly eNews.) Let’s start with the New Testament.

  • Who wrote this book? – Matthew, one of Jesus’ 12 disciples.

As a young boy, David saw the big giant and his strong army, but he also saw something even bigger. David saw the bigness of God, who is bigger than any giant, stronger than any enemy, and greater than any army. David knew that God is Jehovah-Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts.  A “host” is an army. Jehovah-Sabaoth has a “host” of angels, armies and armies of angels. God can send this host of angels to fight for His people and for His great name. These host of angels are also fighters. They are big, strong, fierce warriors! They fight for the living God. They do what He tells them to do.

“For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” Psalm 91:11

We have a choice to make, we can see and think about all the big, scary, sad, and hard things in our life, or we can see and think about Jehovah-Sabaoth our Lord of Host. It will take faith to see God as big and other things as little, but as we continue to see things that way, God will become our Jehovah-Sabaoth.
